So we are combining...Christmas, The Amazing Race:Rasmussen Style, New Years, Elliott's blessing, and my birthday all in one!!! I will keep it short, Christmas was wonderful! Spending time with both families and being with eachother for our first christmas was so good. The Rasmussen's were very generous! I am grateful to be apart of their family. My parents gave me and Chase our beautiful reception which was the best Christmas present ever! We participated in the Amazing Race:Rasmussen Style. Chase's dad had been planning this for a month or so. We did it the Saturday after Christmas the first day the light rail opened. If any of you have watched the show, you know that the teams are sent all over the world...well we were sent all over the valley having to use the light rail as transportation. The winner of the Race recevied $100!!! Of course Team Chatum(Chase/Tatum) prevailed once again!! We finished the race about 15 minutes before everybody else! Thanks Papa Ward for a fun time. New Years we decided to kind of take it easy. We hung out with my siblings over at my sisters house and played Rock Band all night. It was a lot of fun! Our nephew Elliott Andrew Rasmussen was blessed this past Sunday. Brent did a great job and Chase was able to participate in the blessing. I am thankful for my husband who is a worthy priesthood holder. Elliott is adorable and Im sure will be one spoiled kid! The first always is! My birthday was on January 5th...Chase woke up early and made me my favorite breakfast!! We then went and saw TWILIGHT...Chase was nice enough to go see it with me. We did some furniture shopping and then went over to the Rasmussens for some cake and ice cream with both of our families. Chase definantely spoiled me with a new IPOD!!! I love it!! We have been married for 2 months now and are loving it. I am thankful for Chase and for the happiness he brings into my life. I couldn't ask for a better best friend:) Oh ya we just got our first callings...we are the CTR 6 teachers! We get to teach together so its going to be fun!!

Our home....

Here are some pictures of our place! We are loving it and having fun being married! Thank you Staci and Sean for the couches:) we still haven't gotten couch covers but they are very comfy!

1 Month!

Wow, time has flown by. Sunday was our 1 month anniversary of being married! Its been fun to get settled in to our apartment and now get it decorated for Christmas! Auburn is done with the pictures from the actual wedding day so Im going to post a few. Once we get a camera, we will take pictures of our apartment and christmas tree:( We were able to go to the COLDPLAY concert a couple weeks ago with my sister and little brother. It was AWESOME! I have seen them before but it was Chase's first time so it was fun to get to see how excited he was. This last weekend me and 2 of my sisters and sister in law went to the Celine Dion concert! That as well was s0 much fun! I felt like a little girl cheering for Nsync or something. We were trying to be as annoying as possible! haha She is an awesome singer though! Man if I had lungs like hers...Ok the pictures are taking long so I will post them tomorrow...

Elliott Andrew Rasmussen...

This post is a little late, but its all good! Chase's side of the family had the first grandbaby born a week ago today. Brent and Amanda are the lucky parents of the stud muffin. Elliott Andrew Rasmussen was born November 26th 2008 around 5:10 in the morning. He was just too comfortable in Amanda's tummy, she had to have a C-section, the little guy didn't want to come out. Amanda and Elliott are healthy and doing good(Brent is doing good too:) We are so happy for them and Chase is so excited to be a uncle finally, and since I am family now officially, Im happy to be an aunt again for the 7th time! It was really neat to be there at the hospital and see Amanda hold Elliott for the first time. Congrats you guys! He is adorable!!!
